Alban Vineyards

Seymour's Vineyard Syrah 2014

Seymours is my favorite Alban. Never disappoints.This needs another 5 years at least, but will last much longer

Jebs 98 point review The 2014 Seymour's comes from a higher elevation site that’s hammered by the winds off the Pacific Ocean. Classic Seymour’s all the way with its huge nose of black fruits, tobacco, ground pepper, crushed rocks, and ample meatiness, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a great finish. While the Seymour’s is always the most backward and austere of the three single-vineyard Syrahs, the forward nature of the 2014 vintage shows in the wine’s texture and slightly more charming, forward character. Nevertheless, this brilliant Syrah will cruise for 20+ years in cold cellars.

We have started our “dry month.” One week in and will restart over thanksgiving. If I didn’t have so much wine, would probably give it up. I’m more productive without alcohol…

Lots of sediment but turned into lovely wine. Much better than my last one. These apparently need a lot of time. — a month ago

Bien Nacido Hillside Estate Syrah 1995

Stunning, raspberry, leather, and white pepper more reminiscent of Cote Rotie than California. Great depth, I’m crushed that this is my last bottle. — a month ago

Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

This 21 was better than expected. Was gifted to me and went perfectly with some casual carry out Chinese appetizers. Soft and spicy with gorgeous fruits not too tart and not flabby. — 2 months ago
